Fayrouz Karawi appeared in 2001 through the song “Before Time” in the movie “Asrar Al Banat” directed by Magdy Ahmed Ali, and showed a different style from the singers who emerged at that time and achieved great success in commercial color such as Ruby, Nancy Ajram, Sherine Abdel Wahab and others.
Fayrouz Karawi decided to express a different musical culture that she acquired since her childhood, while she is still in the study stage.
Her words simply touched the audience, and she sang “You are my ideal hero because you are not perfect”, “Your heart is crowded”, “lack of mood”, “free from me”, and “A strange need”.
Karawi
What distinguishes Fayrouz Karawia’s career is her keenness to break the trend towards a specific audience or elite, so she tried to reach a larger segment of the audience, and her lyrical production is prolific in light of her reliance on production for herself, due to her concern that production companies do not interfere in the lyrical content they provide.
